Abstract

Cancer patients often have inappropriately low energy intake, exhibit an increased loss of muscle proteins and generalized inflammatory status. Nutritional support aims to reverse these processes. Covering energy requirements is necessary for safety of anti-cancer treatments: radiotherapy, chemotherapy, surgery. Nutritional support and nutritional status monitoring should be managed at every stage of the disease. Nutritional intervention is most important in malnourished patients. Comprehensive, individualized nutritional care improves the results of treatment in cancer patients. Nutritional therapy is essential in obtaining the best results from anti-cancer treatment; however, it will be effective, if should completely cover nutrient requirements.
